CS Chapter 6
by astherielleSeowoo couldn’t tell how many days she had been locked up in this place. There was nothing in the room to indicate the date or time.
She looked utterly resigned. She had screamed and cried repeatedly until she eventually fainted, and when she regained consciousness, the situation had worsened. A heavy shackle had been fastened to her ankle, restricting her movement even within the cramped room.

Hyunsook gently stroked her pale daughter’s face.

The reason Hyunsook was staying there with her was purely for surveillance. Even though she knew Seowoo couldn’t move an inch because of the shackle on her ankle, she remained vigilant, monitoring Seowoo every moment.

“Then at least give me something to eat. I’m so hungry…”
“Here, Seowoo. Drink this. It’s the Water of Eternal Life.”

Seowoo hadn’t had a proper meal since she arrived. It was because she had to purify her body before the wedding. The water Hyunsook offered was nothing but salty brine, yet she called it the Water of Eternal Life.

“Salt water? The Water of Eternal Life is purified by the Elder’s prayer of blessing. Drinking this will cleanse all the sins you’ve committed in your life, Seowoo.”
“Mom… I haven’t committed any sins. If anyone should drink it, it’s you… and Junseo.”

Tears welled up in her eyes again as she spoke. What sins had she committed? If anyone was guilty, it was them, the ones who had abandoned her in an instant.

It was horrible. Everything was utterly horrible. But the worst part was her own growing helplessness in this horrific situation.

She wanted to get out of this place, even if it meant going through with the wedding quickly. The unbearable hunger also tormented her beyond imagination.

‘…Maybe it would be better to just die.’

She briefly pondered how hard she would have to bite her tongue to die, then suddenly remembered a bathroom window attached to the room. It was a very small window, but she might be able to squeeze through if she somehow managed to fit. As the thought reached her, Seowoo’s heart began to race.

Of course, she didn’t even know what floor she was on. If it happened to be a high-rise building, her survival wouldn’t be guaranteed if she jumped.

But Seowoo, quickly making up her mind, parted her dry lips. She intended to check first if the bathroom window would even open.

“I need to go to the bathroom….”
“Again? You just went.”
Hyunsook’s eyes narrowed with suspicion. Seowoo put on her most pitiful expression.
“The salt water… I mean, the Water of Eternal Life… I keep drinking it…”
“…Try to hold it in.”
“Mom… I’ll marry Elder Daniel. If it means Junseo can get better, I’d do anything as his older sister.”
Even as she spoke, nausea welled up in her throat. Her stomach, filled with salt water, churned sickeningly, but Seowoo forced a smile and squeezed Hyunsook’s rough hand.
“Really? Are you finally understanding your mother’s heart, Seowoo?”
“Yes. I think my faith is growing little by little as we keep praying together…”
“Yes! That’s my daughter. You’ve always listened to your mother, haven’t you?”
The suspicion toward her daughter vanished like mist. Elated, Hyunsook took out the key from her pocket. The heavy metal shackle on Seowoo’s ankle was quickly removed.
“Mom… while I’m in the bathroom, could you sing a hymn?”
“A hymn? Sure, I understand. Hmm, My almighty Lord. You sent the Messiah to this land. The holy name of the Messiah is Daniel. Daniel. Daniel.”
Closing her eyes tightly, Hyunsook began to sing a hymn in a loud voice. Meanwhile, Seowoo shuffled to the bathroom and stepped onto the toilet seat as soon as the door closed.
“Open. Please…”
She stretched her hand toward the window, praying fervently. At first, perhaps because she was too nervous, her hands wouldn’t obey, fumbling around. She hadn’t eaten for days, so it was no wonder she lacked strength.
Even as she struggled to escape, sweating profusely, Hyunsook’s hymn continued to ring out from the bathroom.
“Please, just…!”
After several attempts wrestling with the window, it finally began to creak open.
Half-leaning out of the window frame, she stood on tiptoe, trying to assess the situation outside. She thought, if only it were the second or third floor, she would jump down without hesitation.
“……!”
The moment the honking and the loud engine noise of a car pierced her ears was the same moment Hyunsook’s hymn stopped abruptly.
“Seowoo, what do you think you’re doing?!”
The bathroom door flew open, and Hyunsook’s sharp scream came from behind. Turning around involuntarily, Seowoo bid her mother farewell.
“…Mom. If I die, at least grieve for me.”
Stepping onto a water bottle, Seowoo’s body began to tilt forward. She didn’t even have time to care what floor she was on. She just wanted to escape this hell.
Thump-!
The woman’s frail body flew through the air.

A luxurious sedan entered the street where the headquarters were located. Joo Chanyeol, sitting in the driver’s seat, kept checking Minjun’s complexion in the rearview mirror.
Ever since hearing Jinwoong’s words about a bride appearing soon, Cha Minjun had become twice as irritable as usual.

That was understandable, considering Cha Jinwoong had been visiting his office almost daily, pestering Minjun. It was embarrassing to watch him openly stare whenever a woman wearing white passed by in the company. Support us by visiting our official site at lilyonthevalley.com
Unable to endure his grandfather’s antics, Minjun had stopped coming to the headquarters two days ago. Today, too, he worked from home until five in the afternoon and only came in after hearing that Jinwoong had left. For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

Chanyeol patted his chest, calming his racing heart. If Minjun hadn’t been in the back, he might have cursed out loud. But what was even stranger was the woman’s attire. Support us by visiting our official site at lilyonthevalley.com
The pure white dress with excessively frilly ruffles was suspicious enough, but it was also stained with crimson bloodstains. Moreover, the woman’s face was so gaunt that the phrase “skin and bones” came to mind, making her truly look like a ghost. Read the complete chapter at Lily on the Valley without random text
